I know this is old, but just for future reference - it's called symphysis pubis dysfunction...and yes, it hurts like hell and the pain is worse some days than others. I hate turning in bed because it hurts so bad to do so - I hate getting up after sitting for a while because it hurts so bad and I look like an idiot trying to hold my vagina to ease some of the pain. when walking. Things "should" go back to normal after the baby is born, and even though this issue is common, not all women get it. There is also a chance you can break your pelvis during vaginal delivery while having this dysfunction, so stirrups or widely separating the legs/hips is not advised. Look it up on Google for more info.

I also have had intense pressure down there too! It is really quite painful! I googled an article about it being extreme pelvic pressure and its quite normal. Some days the pain is worse than others, but when its bad I just want to cry :( Your almost there!

No exactly what it is. I think its pretty weird because I started getting them 2/3 weeks ago and the longest the have lasted is 25 minutes, and they come an go. It happens mostly in the morning on a daily basis, but I miss a couple/few days here and there. I wonder (after looking it up) if some of the activities I have been doing may have contributed to this. Ya, I actually had a UA (urine test/ analysis) done last week to verify I didn't have a UTI, I no I dont have any STDS, there isn't any other of the yeast infection symptoms, and the UA came back normal. So I feel your pain, and I thought I was crazy too. Sorry if I gave TMI, but its exactly what I thought and did. I wish u a brief labor and relief of your symptoms. Congrats to all of u others out there expecting. Please no it is a gift from God an

I have the same problem. I've had stomach/ pelvic pressure for like 2 months now, but my vagina feels like I had rough sex, and I love the comparison because I ripped open last pregnancy, and the pain is different than that (thank God). I thought I was crazy or had a mild, yet painful case of a yeast infection, without any of the other symptoms. I almost want to wear the pregnancy belt, but with my 1st I didn't have this problem, but I had extreme back labor last time. Also, I've been getting the false labor cramps, and it is ONLY in my spine. How do I no its contractions? After having false labor contractions the 1st time that lasted up to 3 hours (2xs, and 1 hour 2 more times), I no exactly what contractions are. They are that pain that feels electrical, but also gives u this feeling that reminds me of being tired and having your breath taken away (like because you landed on your back). I don't no if others would describe it the same way, but its that unmistakable feeling u just
